County health ratings, quitting legislators, and monarch butterflies

Every year, the County Health Rankings and Roadmaps and the University of Wisconsin Population Health rank a county’s health based on a number of health, social, and economic factors. Health in Northwoods counties varies greatly. Then, the Wisconsin Institute for Public Policy and Service is launching a community survey on Tuesday to gauge feelings about racism and inclusion in Marathon and Lincoln Counties. Wisconsin’s legislators are quitting in near-record numbers. And Karen Oberhauser will be talking monarchs at this month’s Science on Tap Minocqua.
